About this Retreat
Your Guides
Rajagopal Krishnan is a senior yoga teacher and wellness facilitator associated with the Art of Living tradition. With years of experience in teaching yoga, breathwork, meditation, and holistic well-being practices, he has guided participants from diverse backgrounds on their journey toward greater physical health, mental clarity, and inner balance.
His teaching style combines classical yogic principles with practical techniques that can be easily integrated into daily life. Through thoughtfully designed sessions, he helps participants deepen their understanding of the connection between body, breath, and mind while cultivating relaxation, awareness, and overall well-being.
At the retreat, Rajagopal Krishnan will lead yoga practices that emphasize mindful movement, conscious breathing, and inner awareness, offering participants tools to experience greater vitality, balance, and harmony both during and beyond the retreat.
Details of this retreat
The Awakening Soul is designed as a slow and immersive retreat experience rooted in the healing atmosphere of Kerala. Rather than functioning as a sightseeing program or intensive study course, the retreat unfolds gently through yoga, Ayurveda, meaningful travel, silence, nature and human connection.
Guests remain throughout at Akanta Ayurveda and Yoga Cherai, creating stability and emotional grounding. The rhythm of the retreat allows enough space for rest, therapies, reflection and personal integration without the exhaustion of constant movement.
